• Translate technical results into clear client-facing insights and materials for submissions, renewals, and stewardship reviews (e.g., key drivers, sensitivities, uncertainty ranges).
• Partner closely with broking to support market strategy, reinsurer engagement, and deal execution; provide actuarial support in negotiations where needed.
• Establish strong peer review and quality controls for actuarial work products, consistent with professional standards and internal governance expectations for analytics work. Build and manage a high-performing cyber actuarial team (hiring, coaching, development, workload prioritisation), fostering a culture of technical excellence and commercial impact.
• Contribute to thought leadership (market insights, benchmarking, and research) that supports the firm’s cyber positioning with clients and reinsurers.

What you need to have:

• Qualified actuary (FIA/FCAS/FSA or equivalent), with significant post-qualification experience in (re)insurance pricing and portfolio analytics.
• Prior experience in cyber (re)insurance, including cyber pricing and portfolio analytics and/or cyber tail risk/aggregation/systemic risk considerations.
• Demonstrated expertise in building and governing actuarial models and methodologies, including documentation of assumptions, limitations, and uncertainty.
• Proven ability to translate complex technical outputs into clear, client-ready insights and commercially actionable recommendations for placements and portfolio strategy.

What makes you stand out?

• Thought leadership track record (market insights, benchmarking, research, or external speaking/publishing) in cyber or specialty (re)insurance analytics.
• Experience leading and developing high-performing teams, including hiring, coaching, and setting quality/peer review standards.
